Bengaluru: Three transgender people who were arrested on charges of human trafficking and kidnapping have been denied bail by the Karnataka High Court. The Times of India reports that Justice Micheal Cunha dismissed the trio's petition which argued that the allegations against them do not attract offence against human trafficking. Justice Cunha disagreed with the petition and observed that, in fact, the facts against them do attract penalty.

That's not all - the judge also stated that, as per the directive of the apex court, the accused have to seek appropriate relief from a competent court. The apex court had directed the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court to set apart a bench which would be looking after such petitions and applications.

The paper further reports that a 4th standard boy did not return from school and that he was later found at the Gadag Railway station via a child helpline. Following a probe, it came to light that the child had been taken to a hospital in Mumbai where he was given an injection. His name was changed to Pallavi and he was made to beg. The prosecution also alleges that there were direct accusations against the three petitioners following an identification parade.
